clj-kondo 3-Color Integration

"A linter for Clojure code that sparks joy — now with deterministic color-coded diagnostics."

Overview

clj-kondo is a static analyzer and linter for Clojure. This skill integrates Gay.jl's 3-color streams for:

Diagnostic classification via GF(3) trit assignment
Parallel linting with SPI-compliant color forking
Visual feedback with deterministic color palettes
Plurigrid/ASI alignment for safety-aware linting

Diagnostic Trit Mapping

Trit	Level	Color Range	clj-kondo Level
-1	MINUS	Cold (blue)	`:error`
0	ERGODIC	Neutral (green)	`:warning`
+1	PLUS	Warm (red)	`:info`

GF(3) Conservation: For any 3 consecutive diagnostics:

trit(d₁) + trit(d₂) + trit(d₃) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

Configuration

Plurigrid/ASI Safety Hooks

;; .clj-kondo/hooks/gay_safety.clj
(ns hooks.gay-safety
  (:require [clj-kondo.hooks-api :as api]))

(defn check-gf3-conservation
  "Verify GF(3) conservation across findings."
  [{:keys [findings]}]
  (let [trits (map #(case (:level %)
                      :error -1
                      :warning 0
                      :info 1) findings)

Integration with SplitMixTernary

Parallel Linting with SPI Guarantee

  [files seed]
  (let [child-seeds (for [i (range (count files))]
                      (bit-xor seed (* i GOLDEN)))]

Emacs Integration

;; flycheck-clj-kondo-gay.el

(defun flycheck-clj-kondo-gay-colorize (errors)
  "Colorize flycheck errors with Gay.jl colors."

Plurigrid ASI Safety Integration

Plurigrid provides programmable guardrails for AI safety. clj-kondo integration:

(ns music-topos.plurigrid-lint
  (:require [music-topos.clj-kondo-gay :as linter]))

(defn safety-aware-lint
  "Lint with ASI safety awareness."
  [paths seed safety-config]
  (let [result (linter/lint-with-colors paths seed)
        findings (:findings result)]
    ;; Check for unsafe patterns
    (doseq [f findings]
      (when (and (= (:level f) :error)
                 (contains? (:unsafe-patterns safety-config) (:type f)))
        (println "⚠️  ASI Safety Alert:" (:message f))))
    result))
